GOSSIP BITS: Michelle Williams Travels To Nigeria….With Her Rumored Boo Wale Ogunleye

Photobucket

Michelle Williams has been romantically linked (through rumors) to former NFL baller Adewale "Wale" Ogunleye for the past couple of years.  Perhaps even overlapping with the relationship between Wale & Kelis.  But now we’ve learned the two are getting more serious, and Michelle traveled to his home country of Nigeria over the weekend….

Former Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams has been spending her days still singing, and allegedly staying boo’d up with Wale Agunleye.  We’re told Michelle started dating the baller after she broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Chris Dave, a famous drummer who is a part of the Robert Glasper Band and plays with D’Angelo.

They’ve been trying to hide their relationship from the public, but we’re told they’re not ready to let the world in.  But that didn’t stop Michelle from traveling with Wale to his home country of Nigeria this past weekend.  She was there to sing the country’s National Anthem at an event (pictured above).  She tweeted this weekend: 

Sad to be leaving Nigeria so soon! I just got here yesterday and have to leave tonight! One of the BEST times of my life! #GRATEFUL

Sources tell us the former Miami Dolphin and Chicago Bears player have been dating for several months, but have been "cloe friends" for over a year. They’ve shared cozy dinners in Chicago (where Michelle is from) and even some trips to Miami.  And we’re told they both live in Chicago now, as Wale just bought a home there.

We like these two…

Wale also dated Sanaa Lathan (pictured above back in 2009) for a few years prior to Kelis.

K. Michelle REGRETS Pushing NBA Baller J.R. Smith AWAY + Katt Williams UN-Retires After REGRETFUL Announcement

Photobucket

Singer K. Michelle talked to Hot 97 earlier today about her "anger issues" and how they impacted her relationship with baller J. R. Smith.   Watch the interview inside and get the details about Katt Williams coming out of retirement. 

Warner Bros. recording artist K. Michelle stopped by Hot 97 this morning where she talked about her work with women who’ve experienced domestic abuse and getting back with NY Knicks baller J. R. Smith–since apparently they were a couple. 

While talking about relationships, the single lady revealed that she was dating J.R. but things went south because of her attitude.  "I’m very open in saying that I want him back.  Once I had a taste of that real….I  don’t want nobody else." 

K. admitted that she has some anger issues and that she’s a "handful."  And to prove that she’s ready to be a do-right woman, she sang a snippet of a song she wrote to win him back.  Yeah….

 

Watch the interview here and listen to K. Michelle’s "get him back" song at 9:30:

 

 

And…..he’s back!

Earlier this week, Katt Williams tearfully announced his retirement from stand-up comedy after a string of arrests and violent behavior. Though he told his kids about the decision, his management team was apparently in the dark.  

They weren’t too happy about his "announcement" so they made one of their own that Katt is now un-retired.  They told TMZ…

"Katt is definitely NOT retiring. He will be moving forward with the tour … Friday is Texas, Saturday New Orleans, and on to Alabama."

"The reason why he made remarks was due to him feeling totally disrespected by all the things that happen to him in the city of Seattle. He had a moment where he felt very unappreciated. He now just wants to move forward from those unfortunate events and give his fans outstanding shows from this point forward."

Unfortunately, Katt will also be moving forward will several court cases as he’s been charged with 2 counts of 4th degree misdemeanor assault from that really bad weekend in Seattle.

 

OUT OF CONTROL: Katt Williams PIMP SLAPS Target Store Employee, SPEEDS Away In A SHOPPING CART

Photobucket

Comedian Katt Williams is seriously spiraling out of control and has continued his attacks on random people. See video of him pimp slapping a Target employee inside…

Though it’s very sad to watch (thought somewhat comical) Katt Williams slapped a Target employee and then used a motorized shopping cart as his getaway vehicle!

Katt’s numerous breakdowns (which are often caught on video), have included a high speed chase (on a three-wheeler), club fights, slapping an assistant, and bombing on stage.  

The latest incident happened after he sped away from police officers who were chasing he 3-wheeler last Sunday.  He drove to a nearby Target where he apparently got into an argument with an employee.  He later slapped the employee and the cops were called.  Then, Katt was seen "driving" away from the register in one of Target’s own motorized shopping cart. 

This scene would play out hilariously on-screen….but this is real life.  Katt is seriously going to hurt himself or someone else unless he’s stopped. He’s our Lindsay Lohan.

First, Katt slaps the employee….

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.

 

Then…..he rides off in the getaway cart….

 

Hot ass mess.

NO MORE FUR: Wendy Williams GOES NAKED For PETA Ad Campaign

Photobucket

She’s changed up her lifestyle quite a bit since becoming a daytime tv star.  Now, Wendy Williams is telling the world she’s also giving up her fur life.  And she’s just gone totally naked for PETA’s new "I’d Rather Go Naked" ad.

 

Check it out under the cut…

Wendy unveiled her hot new ad today in Times Square for PETA’s new winter campaign.  And she’s become a new spokesperson for the organization who is against the mistreatment of animals and people wearing animal fur.  Wendy, who once wore real mink and fox but had a change of heart after learning how animals are electrocuted, beaten, and even skinned alive for their fur, said today:

"We should all try to be comfortable in our own skin and let the animals keep theirs."

And the daytime diva has not one, but two nude ads where she’s covering her lady lumps with nothing but her own wiggery and her fat wedding ring:

Photobucket

In addition to her ad, Williams will encourage her viewers to donate their fur coats to PETA so that they can be given to the homeless. PETA is working with shelters in Williams’ home state of New Jersey on their coat drives this winter, which have seen greater demand as the numbers of the needy and displaced have increased after Hurricane Sandy.

Check out her behind the scenes shoot footage below:

You feelin’ her ad campaign?

Wendy Williams talked to InTouch Weekly exclusively about her cocaine addiction and how falling in love with her husband saved her.  She told the mag, 

“I was a functioning addict. I’d work from 3 in the afternoon until 7 at night, get off and party until 7 in the morning — then sleep until 2, go to the radio station and do it all over again.  People around me knew, but nobody ever said anything to me. Nobody had the guts, which is shocking to me.”

She says she decided tp make a change after she met her husband of 15 years Kevin Hunter.  

“I never had [a breaking point]. Right around my 30th birthday, I met my [future] husband.  The habit was not breaking me, so I could’ve gone on and on, except I was falling in love with this guy.”

Wendy said she weaned herself of the drugs and now credits her shaky past with her success today.  “Every time I walk through the double doors of my studio, I feel like I won,” she says. “Even if it’s all over tomorrow, I won.  

“I was in deep. I wish I hadn’t put my life in jeopardy, but I have no regrets because it’s made me who I am today, and I’m proud of me,” she added.

Kim Zolciak is leaving "RHOA" (as we already figured) and will be starring in her own Bravo spinoff–well, an extension of the one she already had. Kim’s decision to leave the show will be shown on the December 2 episode. Kim says of her exit,

"I was eight months pregnant and there was so much drama; I just had to walk.  I’ve taken on so much in the past five years, but this was the final straw. My priority was the child inside me.”

Kim’s unnamed spinfoff for "Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding" will be a continuation of her new life with husband Kroy Bierman and their four childen.

She says “It’s going to a fun, lighthearted show about our crazy everyday life. My amazing husband is doing awesome in the NFL, we’re building a home, we have a teenager, a tween and two babies.”

On her departure, she adds, “I can’t say it was easy to end that chapter. After all, I met my husband through this show.”

Oh.  No premiere date has been set.
 

FOOLISH ACTIVITIES: Katt Williams PIMP SLAPPED With $5 Million LAWSUIT For ASSAULTING Female Assistant

Comedian Katt Williams got hit with a $ 5 million lawsuit for allegedly hitting his female assistant. Get the deets inside…..

 

Having already seen his fair share of lawsuits, comedian Katt Williams was just hit with another one for allegedly hitting and injuring his female assistant.

Melissa Ishage filed a $ 5 million lawsuit, according to TMZ, with the L.A. County Superior Court recently claiming Katt attacked and punched her causing "serious and permanent injuries."  Damn…did she not bring him his comb quickly enough?

Melissa, who sought treatment at a hospital, says the cops were called but no one was arrested. For now, the incident is still under investigation.

Neither Katt nor his reps have spoken out about the lawsuit.  Foolishness indeed.

Mimi Faust Says “L&HH ATL” EXPERIENCE Was “AWFUL” + Venus & Serena Williams’ FATHER Is A DAD Again…At 70!

 

"L&HH ATL" star Mimi Faust has opened up about her reality tv experience calling it "awful." Get the deets inside and find out about Venus and Serena’s dad becoming a father again at age 70!

Reality tv star Mimi Faust recently talked about the backlash she received from appearing on "L&HH ATL," calling the experience "awful."  In an interview with Street Disciplez Radio, Mimi talked about people making nasty comments about her and some of her choices on the show.

And for those who think she’s still with Stevie J, she said she is not. "Just because I agreed to go to counseling doesn’t mean I stuck with him. That was me agreeing to go to counseling and me agreeing to sit down with him."

When speaking about Joseline, she revealed that Miss Hernandez lucked up on a spot in the show.  "Joseline wasn’t supposed to be a cast member, that was the deal. We had all of the cast members in place. She kind of got on the show by default. She wasn’t initially a cast member at all."

And with her newfound fame, Mimi is branching out and creating her own brand.  "’I'm doing a clothing line inspired by my daughter.  I’m doing a home line—kind of like Martha Stewart, but I’m nowhere near Martha Stewart—but a home line as far as like home accessories. Pillows, lamps, decorative things for the home."

But Mimi did reveal that being on the show has created a new crop of suitors.  She said, “Men will just walk up to me in the grocery store and say, ‘I wouldn’t cheat on you, baby.’

Listen to the interview here:

 

And in other news………


Richard Williams, the 70-year-old father of Olympic champs Serena and Venus Williams is a dad again….at age 70!  Richard’s 33-year-old wife Lakeisha gave birth to a little boy in late August, a source revealed.  Neither Richard nor the Williams sisters have spoken publically about the birth.

Congrats!

 

 

BONUS:

 

If you were wondering why Kim Zolciak wasn’t featured in the new promo still for season 5 of "RHOA" it’s because she’s landed her own reality show.  She’ll still be on "RHOA" (in a very limited role as she was pregnant during filming) but the focus has shifted to her own series since "Don’t Be Tardy For the Wedding" was such a hit.
